Hi David,

I used the Surly chain tensioner and was not terribly impressed with
it -- it's a fairly simple component, so all I really ask is that it
just works.  I had lots of little issues with it.  The biggest problem
was that the "floating pulley" bar (for lateral adjustment) kept
loosening up, no matter how hard I'd tighten it down.  Eventually the
pulley bar actually fell off during a ride, which is not a good
position to find yourself in.  I partially blame myself for continuing
to use a part that wasn't working right, but still...

Anyway, just my limited experience.  If you don't need the extra
lateral adjustment, the Shimano looks like a better option, but I
haven't used it.

Regards,
Matthew Snyder
